1. Wow what a fortnight it was in great Indian Tamasa............................cannot get any bit crazier than this................first and foremost the tirade of Dramatist and art person Girish Karnad against Nobel Laureates in general................VS Naipaul and Rabindranath Tagore. Both have basked and one lives to shine in its gleam. But the time looks dubious for a character like Girishji. I would like to congratulate Girishji just for his plain frankness which no one did till date dared about Tagore's works. I wonder if Mamta was fast dozing when Girishji's words where splashed all over print media- rather cold shoulder from busy bee Mamta; May be Mamta mistook for Rabindranath for Bangla poet?  It perplexes me when great poet and revolutionary thinker like Subramanya Bharathi had approved of the depth of Gitanjali, Tagore's work in his own words why is Girishji fuming? Guess everyone feels a black spot in a spotless cream kurta afterall we are humans.........

The below is a imaginative account of a Billionaire and his Heir apparent.......................... This is a piece of news about Siddharth Mallya in overseas looking out for models for Kingfisher magazine gathered by our ever inquisitive Indian media, not that they have always been in forefront of juicy bits and pieces but once in a while they did do justice reporting politician crooks in shady deals. This DummyFisher soap has all the ingredients to become a late night A rated saga just for the eyes of what all a 'Billionaire Heir can do' kind of scenario. Just imagine the below script for this soap opera- Bullion Dollar Son - 'Papa i am not happy with the curves we have shortlisted for the 2013 calender, i literally want a drop your jaw kind of Hot bodies on QFA calenders Pa. High time we hunted off shores. As such your choice for RC cheer girls were a damp squib. Your taste is becoming dull pa.' Bullion Dollar Pa - 'Ok shon try exoticas, as such our f...

Can there be a better understanding of what a classical art form surviving in midst of western and Hindustani influence go through? a more matured thinking on part of film's protagonist who begins to unravel the wonders in Carnatic music which has no caste, creed, religion or even sex to stop from immersing a soul in blissful union with the supreme. Music when seen from an unknown source of power makes it more mystic and supreme. the movie captures a struggle between a traditional musical man and the unraveling cruel world around him. K Vishwanath could not have done justice to Indian cinema more than this creation. Cine goers may not feel dream sensation when watching his creations but the depth it makes in one's experience in movie watching is amazing and generations to come will take leaf out of life and how one must be passionate about one's belief in himself and his art. The movie made on convictions and sincerity towards the roles por...

Poor Cauvery/ Kaveri in which ever name called is held hostage to caste/creed/ colour/ language and much more innumerable reasons a man can find to keep the water away from thirsty standing crops in the downstream and thirsty human throats of IT capital Bengaluru and Automotive capital Chennai. This is not to state the greediness of one state Karnataka or the over zealousness of another state Tamilnadu. My interest in Cauvery was kindled by Mr. Arupathi Kalyanam a farmer who has seen the lows and highs of the Cauvery dispute brings out a perspective on the whole issue. First and foremost accords and agreement are signed at the amicable satisfaction of both parties which has been happening since the dam was built and under British the agreements were inked. But as and when states began to be re-organized on linguistic grounds there has been a slow poisoning of regional politicians thinking process with farmers’ interest taking backseat. With power comes great responsibili...

How many have heard about Krishnammal Jagannathan? Definitely not our first Miss India or Miss World, definitely not a ISRO's first female programme director or even a first woman to have been elected to State assembly...........................but a human who has till date continues to travel up and down a government representative Collectorate's office many times in a month fighting for the rights of landless peasants. She was FIRST in many noble ways- a Human being with compassion to the suffering landless farmers in highly unreliable & nature bounty agriculture; a woman like none other to have vowed to dress a spartan saree- hand woven and lead a life meant for Satyagrahis and Karma yogis. What is so great about a woman who does not take on womanly pleasures? she derives the strength when she talks to today's youth expostulating them to get down and get dirty in hands and feet by serving the downtrodden in a rightful manner of Ahimsa. Can you believe there li...

This Charade was written when our Honourable President of India was discharging his duties as a Finance Minister and chief Trouble shooter......................................................and when VR Deshmukh was around fooling with Adarsh scam....................... Family head Bade miyan Dr.kaamosh Sing has taken the head chair. And as usual silent at the dinner table but the center table chair taken by Madam Sogaya. Head chef Chipal serving the menu. Madam Sogaya : Chipal what’s on the dish anything Milanish or napleish. Head Chef Chipal : No Madamesoille recently our neighbour badnami caught our regular supplier Octavious supplying freshly sautéed olives with sardines. Alas we hurt our extreme rightly placed Hindu brother’s sentiment we cancelled Octavious order. Madam Sogaya : What a pity Madam Sogaya : what else on menu any Bengal gram ya Orissa dhal??????? Ya Maharashtra Pyas????? Karab Da : the family head priest a Bengali Brahmin interjects, ‘Aree...

Going by his all to dramatic looks and contrived statements Arvind has very well entered big time political games. Welcome to Great Indian Tamasha, what makes this even more dull and morose is same script being re-written on a soiled page called Post Independent Indian Politics. Chapter 3 Post reforms era. What are other two? Indian politiks makes for a beautiful naming saga; Chapter 1 Nehruvian era lots of colonial era magic and start of dynastic blunder; while Chapter 2 shall be Nehru's doing- Indira and Black days of '77 followed up with colourless 80's. Arvind seems to have used the Annaji's face and Topi very well; had he been on the creative board of Saatchi and Saatchi he would have earned in not less than 6 digit figures in dollars alas he has chosen a wrong platform and terribly wrong man furthermore a terribly wrong time. India is looking for a stable party which does not play dirty with coal and have cry babies like Mamta; thugs like Alagiri and Ran...
